I have a HTML form, with all of the tags setup that I need for my formmail. When I test it using a Input Type = Submit button, it works fine, but when I am trying to use a flash button to submit my formmail errors out saying "Blank Referrer - Access Denied
You are not allowed to send parameters to FormMail script directly. Please use a webform to post data to this script." I really need this to work. Thanks.

Hi palare98,
Suppose you have a HTML form named 'myForm' and you make in your Flash-button the actionscript:
getURL ("javascript:document.myFo
everything has to work properly.
Remind tha your Flash button has to appear before the </form> tag.
When you have further questions, please feel free to ask.
Greetings,

Well, what I have is a button, inside the /form tag stating geturl "www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/fo
Hi Polare98,
This is the trick:
create a form with a tag like:
<form name="reactie" action="www.mysite.com/cgi
Then, before your </FORM> tag, place the Flash button with the javascript in the geturl as descriped above.
Then everything has to work.
When it don't work, try the html form to submit with a normal submit button, when you get the error again, you have to find the error elswere (for instance in your formmail script or something like that.
When you have further questions, please feel free to ask.
Greetings,
Roy
In the geturl, make sure you are using the following:
getURL("http://www.mysite.
if you miss out the 'http://' the flash movie will search from its current directory relatively instead of absolutely which would mean its looking for
http://www.mysite.com/flas
If the formail script is on your own site, you can link to it relatively depending on where it is, ie.
getURL("cgi-bin/formail.pl
Hope this helps.

did you build that button yourself, or is it a prebuilt one from Fireworks or Dreamweaver?
if you use a Flash button to submit variables, you should use loadVariables and post that information to the proper page...
or you should use a getURL along with Get and attach the variables to a string...
provide more info about your setup situation...
